Perceived usefulness mediates the link between IQ and SAP. Suggesting that entertainment and perceived usefulness are crucially necessary for inspiring social media content to obtain optimum performance among graduate students. The study was limited to a single academic institution. Therefore, the results of the investigation cannot be generalized as a whole, and cannot track respondents\u2019 social media activity over time.

Social media (SM) has a significant influence on students\u2019 social and academic performance. Thus, educational stakeholders, such as university authorities, the government, and parents and guardians, should recognize social media as a tool for achieving educational objectives.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The study enhances the application of UTAUT2 by examining how factors that influence the adoption of technology are connected to the subsequent influence of that adoption on students\u2019 learning and conduct.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40561-024-00329-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,9]],"date-time":"2024-10-09T03:32:11Z","timestamp":1728444731000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Information quality and students\u2019 academic performance: the mediating roles of perceived usefulness, entertainment and social media usage"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Abdallah M.
